Just received this candle that was to be a gift. As soon as I picked up the box, I heard all the broken glass moving around inside. I called CS to let them know and found out the color I requested (black) is no longer available. Rachel asked if I wanted a different color and I said no, just please send a return label.She said as it was broken I need not return and she has credited back to my credit card. So thank you, Rachel.

@catter70  Is this it?

 

 

I hate that sinking feeling when you just know it isn't going to be good. Glad CS were able to help you and not make it any more painful. I have had good luck with the Candle Impressions line of lanterns. Maybe you could find something there.

I just received an order from Archipeligo that had amazing packaging.  I ordered 2 complete holiday diffusers (decanters with reeds) and a refill of another fragrance and they were so well packaged that I called my husband to see it before I dug in further.  The entire box was lined with heavy weight air pillows (bottom, sides and a top flap you could lift up) with each box or bottle securely wrapped and nestled in additional paper cushioning.  All arrived safe and sound and I was delighted.   I am keeping the packaging to use with packages I send out so it will be "recycled".

 

@catter70 Sorry to hear about your experience as I recently received a Jay King necklace that I could hear rattling around before I got the box open.  Yep broken with beads loose in the package.   

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

If the rest of the lantern is okay then take it to a glass shop and have them cut some pieces to fit.

Great minds think alike @SilleeMee. Even plexiglass would work.  Just glue it in.
